We ask you to refrain from using generative AI tools
The essay portion of your application is your opportunity to show us who you are, what drives your passion for technology, and how you’ll thrive in our innovation-focused community. That’s why we ask you to refrain from using generative AI tools (like ChatGPT or similar platforms) to write your response.
We fully support and celebrate the creative use of emerging technologies — it’s what UAT is all about. But this is your moment to shine in your own voice, to tell your story in a way that no one else can. The essay also plays a key role in scholarship consideration, so it's worth your best effort.
Essay Writing Tips:
